Course: Introduction to Thermoplastic Composites

Introduction to Thermoplastic Composites

On Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th of December, TPRC will organize a 2-day introductory course on thermoplastic composites.

Typical features of thermoplastic composites will be elaborated in interactive and theoretical classroom setting, as well as hands-on practical lab sessions.

In this course several processing techniques will be introduced. Participants will learn more about press forming, laser-assisted fiber placement, welding technologies, mechanical testing and NDT.During the course participants will get answers to the following questions:

What are thermoplastic composites?

Why thermoplastic composites?

How to process thermoplastic composites?

How to apply thermoplastic composites?

The Introduction to Thermoplastic Composites’ course is well-suited for entry level participants who are considering future applications of thermoplastic composites. A background in composites is not needed, however basic knowledge in materials and/or production engineering is advantageous.
The fee for participation in the two-day course is €1450,-. This includes course materials, lunches, drinks and a dinner.
If you are interested in joining the Advanced Forming of Thermoplastic Composites Course, or would like to receive more information about it, please contact Sebastiaan Wijskamp, Technical Director)

TPRC, the ThermoPlastic composites Research Center in the Netherlands, is an open innovation, research- and development center that aims for thermoplastic composites for a broad range of end use markets.
